MOFFETT, Okla. -

Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said the seizure of synthetic marijuana from a business in Moffett is part of a larger federal sting which is also happening Tuesday in California.

Lockhart said, along with the Outer Zone store in Moffett, another Outer Zone store in Tahlequah is being searched Tuesday.

Lockhart said federal investigators are searching an additional synthetic manufacturing site in California.

The sheriff said deputies have been watching the Moffett store since the beginning of the year. Deputies have made undercover purchases of the synthetic marijuana product at the location.

Lockhart said he believes the store has purchased $765,000 worth of the synthetic marijuana product this year from the location in California.

The District 27 Drug Task force is assisting in the search of the store in Moffett located at Hwy 64.

Lockhart said this is the biggest synthetic marijuana bust in the state.
